It sounds like a great reason to buy a new 19" flat screen to me!

Charcoal bricks (for grills) absorb odors. Not sure if it would work on a monitor though. For a room, you'd lay some around & swap them out after a few days when they lose their effectiveness.

Stan...Just let the monitor sit there for a few months and the smell WILL go away.
BUT Dan's suggestion is the best one!
I've only had my LCD monitor for a couple of weeks but I love it. Had to turn the brightness down to the lowest setting cuz it was making my photogrey spectacles darken into "sunglasses" mode!

Put it outside & get a duster gun attached to an air compressor hose to blow the dust out- that'll help a lot, & is easy, though it won't solve all of it.
